VOV.VN - Up to 500 women and girls donning colourful traditional outfits participated in a vibrant parade for the Ao Dai Festival which took place in Hanoi on November 29.
The administration of Hanoi holds a festival to celebrate Ao Dai, the nation’s traditional long dress, around Ho Guom Lake, also known as Sword lake, with the aim of honouring the cultural value of the garment.
It is hoped that images showing local girls wearing Ao Dai will help to promote the Vietnamese tourism industry.
